Did the Netflix series help or harm the franchise?
Neither. It did nothing.You can't kill what's already rotting in the ground.
Kikeflix is the death knell for a franchise, it signals creative death and approaching zombification into normoid slop.
>>720150027my only experience with this franchise is playing picrel chilling in the castle with your dead wife and son's ghost is kino
>>720150027We didn't get a single game out of it so it was useless.
>>720150440Based beyond belief.
I feel like it made people appreciate the games more thanks to how hilariously bad it was.
>>720150027>>720150337>>720150556At least the shitty DMC anime got people to buy DMC5, there's no new Castlevania games to take advantage of the tie in because Konami fucking sucks.
>>720150440This game is not canon.
>>720150027Nocturne could've been good. Setting it during the French Revolution to explain three Vampires hanging around without Dracula was a great idea. But what the fuck was all that shit about Egypt? Why not just have Shaft doing Shaft shit in the background and that's why they're fighting? Just have Shaft and his cronies kidnap Maria and Annette to try and call back Dracula because they don't know Dracula is chilling in his timeshare in London. Why the hell would you do all this revolution shit with fucking demons? Why would Vampires give a shit about how the people of France do their politics? Humans are food to them. Is Napoleon a vampire? But hey the last 2 episodes of S2 had some decent fights so there's that I guess.
>>720150027It helped harm the franchise
>>720150774I can't remember, wasn't Isaac trying to be done with the genocide thing before he got stopped on the docks?
>>720150027They chased off the normies that liked the 2017 show already.Nocturne went hard into "muh slavery" woke storytelling and turned Ricther Belmont into a beta.At least Trevor was written to be an actual man, and Sypha was cute as hell.
>>720150961>finally get to see egyptian vampires in something>it's fucking netflixvaniaI was so mad
>>720150961Kikeflix being Kikeflix as usual and being unable to resist fellating niggers for one nanosecond.
>>720150961Oh I fully expect they have given up on Nocturne with the quiet announcement of the artbook, they only do these when a show has ended.
>>720150027there still wouldn't have been a new game if it hadn't existed so it really didn't do anything
>>720150027it helped in getting normies to try out 1 or 2 games but it mostly harmed the harcore fans intresst.
>>720150027Woke slop that disrespects the source material.A complete waste of time, money, and effort.
>>720150961>why did they do it?because the don't care about the lore, they only care about using franchises that have some name recontion to push their weird woke politics.
>>720151241>Nocturne went hard into "muh slavery" woke storytelling and turned Ricther Belmont into a beta.No it's dumber. Because as it turns out the conflict isn't about slavery at all. Erzebet wants an infinite night where she can be worshipped as a goddess. And Drolta is a delusional zealot who completely misunderstood her own god. Neither of them give a flying fuck about slavery outside of humans being their cattle. And the closest we see to a political villain is Abbott, who, you guessed it, doesn't really give a shit about slaves but rather enforcing the status quo of divinely appointed hierarchy.tl;dr the slavery shit in Barbados was a long ass non sequitur. They stopped the show to say slavery bad to an audience of no one. No one cares about slaves in the story Nocturne is trying to tell
>>720151241>At least Trevor was written to be an actual man, and Sypha was cute as hell.trevor was constantly rescued by her and he never rescued her even once
>crosses fuck up vampires because basic geometric shapes confuse their eyes and brainsAnyone who unironically liked the shows is beyond retarded.
>>720151752Huh? They meet by Trevor rescuing her
>>720151773OH GOD!!!PERPENDICULAR LINES!!!MY APEX PREDATOR EYES CAN'T HANDLE IT!!!!AAAAHHHH
>>720150027What franchise? Konami won't make any fucking games!
Fuck it, maybe I should finally try Cumstained? I know it's not SotN-tier but is it at least Circle of the Moon-tier?
>>720150027I still can't believe that they went the way they did and made a whole new dogshit universe that's going to be forgotten as fast as Lords of Shadow. There's so much space in the Castlevania timeline for you to expand upon. We only ever see the big, final encounters against Drac in the games. How much in-between do we see? The Belmonts being trained by their previous generation, other Vampire hunter families like the Van Helsing Clan or the Morris Clan or the inner workings of the Church (who are not immune to corruption [read: Ecclesia] but are more good than not) or whatever the fuck Alucard was doing larping as a Japanese Man for however fucking long that's been going on or, and I admit I liked the IDEA Nocturne had here, the real world effect on Dracula's recurring appearance on the greater world and its conflicts before the church dispensed a Belmont to deal with it (which could therein tie back into the branch families dealing with lesser threats in the meantime).The amount of freedom you have and could expand upon to make an anthology series highlighting the lesser seen parts of the franchise was right fucking there and instead they just wrote some dogshit story about slavery??? I fucking hate these people.
WE WUZ VAMPIRES N SHIET
>>720152573It plays exactly like SotN. Alucard is even in it.
>>720150804>>720152389You two are really asking to get monkey pawed by even more outsourced dogcrap like Silent Hill is. Them not making anything to coincide with the jewflix shit is way more of a good thing than a bad thing.
>>720150027gay rape lol
>>720151752He literally saves her from the cyclops.
>>720153138More games being made is a good thing, even if they're not popular. The only thing worse than mediocre or even bad Castlevania games is none being made because after long enough literally no one will give a shit without something to digest.
>>720151773>>720152107So here's my question: why the fuck did Netflixvania feel the need to tip their fedoras on Christianity? Because the Christian God does exist in Netflixvania right? Blue Fangs in the first season, good scene BTW, tells the Bishop that God is real, the demons know who God is, but that God has abandoned the churches there. Because the Bishop is a liar who killed an innocent woman. Lisa is put in Hell along with Dracula so she could be with her husband. Dracula remarks that he built his army in Hell and in Nocturne the stupid machine used to make the night creatures is a portal to Hell. So the Christian God is real. Heaven is real. Hell is real. And the Vampires, or at least Dracula, is connected to it. So then why the fuck would you draw the line at Crucifixes being effective against Vampires? You'll acknowledge Hell at every turn but acknowledging God and Heaven as effective counters to them is too much to ask?
>>720153460>More games being made is a good thingCattle. Dead and dormant is always better. Unless you enjoy playing shit remakes like delta or outsourced trash like the western 7th gen Silent Hills, with F soon to join them on the garbage pile.
>>720154462Nah.If Konami makes kino again then I will buy it.
>>720150027It didn't do much of anything. I'm sure it motivated some people to go check out the games and those people may have been disappointed that the games don't carry much of a story or whatever, but it doesn't matter.The games have very little meaningful narrative. It's not like Game of Thrones, which was a smash hit that reinvigorated curiosity in the novels that, while a very different medium, nevertheless included a more involved iteration of the characters and setting they were familiar with and gave them a leg-up on understanding what would happen in the TV series next. The games are action-platformers that crib from Universal and Hammer movies and Indiana Jones. The stories are disposable at best and terrible at worst. They don't matter.
>>720150440This poor anon was molded by mid
>>720150027I stopped caring when Alucard took it up the ass.
>>720158163That's when Ayami Kojima started caring, I suspect.
>>720150027No new games so it did basically nothing for the franchise.
>>720151773>>720154028Pretty sure it was referring to the people/vampires that didn't believed/knew about Christ so they had no idea why crosses worked so they just went "right angles lol"
>>720156416They won't, they'll make dogshit.
>>720154462>outsourced trashOutsourcing can work. Ragebound is good, Art of Vengeance is good. Even the ReBirth games were outsourced to M2, and I think Adventure ReBirth in particular is one of the best games in the series overall.
>>720150027Sucks ass, fucking jeet ruining everything
>>720152919The show wasn't meant for fans who are the only people that would care for expanded lore. It's for people who have never heard of Castlevania outside of maybe>Hey, isn't that a video game? I'm an epic gamer myself so I'll give it a watch.The entire point of using an established brand for licensing is to draw people in, but not necessarily to appeal to them. You can write whatever the fuck you want, slap a skin on it to get the core fans to advertise the movie for you, and make good money. It definitely worked for Netflix. The show was a huge hit for being based on a relatively niche property.
>>720150027It may have influenced the Takarazuka musical since their Olrox design is clearly based on the netflixvania design. But that's the only traceable evidence I can find.
>>720150027I like to rewatch the Issac vs Carmilla fight cause he uses a shitload of monsters to help like he should. And that's about all I liked.
>>720152919>There's so much space in the Castlevania timeline for you to expand upon.I agree, but for a TV show it still would've been best to scrap the game continuity. In part because the Castlevania timeline also has quite a few very stupid ideas in it, but also because the games reuse concepts (like Alucard in general) that would've been better streamlined for a TV show. And honestly even most Castlevania fans don't care that much about the story anyway and rightfully so, so any TV show would need to hold itself up on its own merits.
>>720161893No, you absolutely could incorporate the game storyline into a TV series by just filling in details into you have a workable main plot and subplot. Okay, since OP is about nocturne let's look into Richter's games. So what happened? Shaft kidnapping a bunch of women, including Maria and AnnetteRicther shows up to a city on fireHe has to hunt for the maidens while making his way to ShaftOops, Shaft managed to revive Dracula just in timeWhat is a man? Simple premise. Now expand it. Just talk about why Richter and Annette are in love so you can root for him to complete his mission. Maria looks up to Richter, so you can have her be a companion who learns from him so that she can go off on her own mini adventure until the big fight with Dracula. But since Netflixvania loves being a cynical edge lord about everything, you can play up how Richter is enjoying the fight even if the fight has noble reasons. So that when Dracula dies, he's correct when he calls out Richter for doing all this for the glory rather than to save Annette. Which of course Richter is going deny until years later when he voluntarily helps Shaft revive Dracula. Partially because brainwashing but partially because of his selfish desire to kill Dracula twice and prove himself the ultimate Belmont. A problem that Alcard has to return and put down as the POV and Maria as the supporting character who doesn't want to believe Richter would do something so horrible. Why could this not be a show that's still in line with the rest of the games?
>>720150027was so bad that it killed the franchise
>>720162803because muh subversions 'n shiet
>>720150337why wont they release rondo of blood to modern day consoles?
It would help if Rondo of Blood was available officially fucking anywherewhy is it tied to a PS4 collection and the Wii U eShop of all things
>Could have had fun Maria animated>Instead we get daddy issues
>>720150027Simons Quest is good. There, I said it!

>>720162803>No, you absolutely could incorporate the game storyline into a TV seriesI'm saying it would be worth establishing a separate continuity regardless just to give things more breathing room, assuming a show with a similar amount of dialogue and that also ran for 6 seasons. To the extent the Castlevania timeline "works" it works because it's a series of games with very little story and video games are iterative by nature. For fuck's sake, there are several completely different games that use the exact same Simon Belmont-fights-Dracula premise, and the entire Belmont clan is just an extension of that kind of reuse with very few exceptions. So why keep it? Just so Igarashi can feel better about that time he subjected everybody to Meg Ryan running down endless corridors?I remember when the show was running that people were irritated by Trevor playing second-fiddle to Alucard in the Dracula battle, but why would it be otherwise? The narrative elephant in the room is that Dracula is Alucard's father. It would be genuinely retarded storytelling to make Trevor Belmont the center of that conflict. The games got away with this because it doesn't fucking matter. Castlevania III barely has a plot; Alucard is just a vampire that WOKE UP TO JUSTICE to give Trevor a firm handshake and secure himself a job and then fucked off without mention for several games before reappearing as a drag queen cosplaying as Captain Kronos. If you're serious about expanding on and adapting Castlevania III you have to acknowledge that any Symphony of the Night adaptation can no longer carry the weight that it does. You will, somehow, end up robbing Peter to pay Paul. You could probably still do everything and keep it in line enough with the games, but it would require a completely different kind of adaptation that shrugs at the story as much as the games themselves do as an action anthology like the Clone Wars microseries or something. I'd have much rather had that, myself.
Why the fuck can't they just start making Castlemanias again? There's a massive market for it, too, because literally NO ONE is making Igavanias right now. Every indie Metroidvania is some Dark Souls "inspired" Hollow Knight clone with Super Meat Boy-esque level design. I just want to explore a huge fucking castle and have a gorillion different weapons and abilities available with no regard for balance or difficulty. Apart from Bloodstained (which was better than Hollow Knight or Nine Sols or Silksong or whatever) no one has made an Igavania in over 10 years as far as I can tell. Timespinner maybe, but it was short as shit and gay as hell and even then I still played it because it was actually fun, unlike most indie Metroidvanias coming out.Just bring back Iga, you fucking hacks, and let him make the games he wants to make.
>games: is a hero and master interior decorator who managed to prevent dracula's revival, saving his best friend and girlfriend in the process, lived a happy life>netflix: got his best friend and wife killed, gave up on life, became estranged from his daughter and refused to teach his grandson, lives in a dilapidated cabin with barely any furniture
>>720164190I hate the art from part 5 on.
I have never ejaculated to Maria Renard.
>>720164057It's on PS4. What more do you need?
>>720150027The original series helped expose the zoomers to the kino that is Castlevania.Nocturne was absolute garbage tranny fanfic tier.
>>720159337That's retarded.
>>720151087Isaac stopped by the magic shop and the old blind nigger gave him the magic mirror for free. The act of kindness shook him so he decided not to murder everyone in town and just leave on a boat.The guards fucked it up for everyone.
>>720151752Seeing Sypha get better and better at using magic/fighting was throughout the series was pretty fucking kino.Trevor, Alucard and Sypha were all getting fucked up until Trevor used his cross boomerang to save Sypha who saved Alucard.Checkmate atheists.
>>720164481>barely any furnitureThis is the saddest shit...
>>720150027It's a nice spit to the rotting corpse of the franchise
>>720164348My cope theory is that all these crossovers they have been doing is part of an elaborate marketing campaign for a new game.The September Nintendo Direct is my last hope.
>>720164481
>>720164481Men really live like this.
A cheerful pokemon trainer in an otherwise depressing serious setting would have been kino. Why did they pass on that?
>>720150027Harm, like all Netflix slop and anything that brings in tourists. Utter disgrace of an adaptation, and and all the retards defending it should be gatekept.
>>720164481Yeah don't fucking remind me that they shafted my nigga Juste.
>>720165815Because the world of pokemon is not sad or depressing.
>>720165562This was my apartment for a few months.
>>720164481simply put men are just weakjust like real life, chuds always lose
>>720164987>cross two shapes together>race of parasitic demons instinctively reacts negativelyit's more likely than you think
>>720165940SOVL unlike a womans apartment.
>>720165940Did you sleep with your bike in the same bed?
>*hijacks your villain*
>>720150027You can't harm the dead.
>>720166162No, he makes the bike watch him plow other girls.
what if they went to truly uncharted territory and made a series about how the vampire killer arrived back with the Belmonts after the Morris' and climaxed at Julius' showdown in 1999? might as well have made it a show since it's never going to be a game at this point
>>720166573So Julius can have gay sex with dracula?
>>720166641yes. what else could I have meant by climax
>>720166335other bikes?
>>720164481>man I sure do love Richter, but I hope we get to see Juste train him up a bit in flashbacks or something>pic relatedIt's a fucking crime we didn't get to see Maxim teaching him his psychotic acrobatics.
>>720166573They won't. Not unless Alucard is heavily involved, I guess. It's no secret that this series isn't actually about the Belmonts, but instead Alucard.
>>720150027Fans of the games stopped watching after season 2 of the first show. Anyone who remained likely never played any Castlevania game
>>720166253>Killed them both in season 2They realized those two couldn't carry an entire series and were quick to get rid of them.I fully expect Dracula to return if they get greenlit for another show.
>>720167284I can't remember if the games say anything about Alucard's involvement in the battle of 1999, but they definitely made Julius/Alucard/Yoko seem like a team.
>>720167449Well yeah, Dracula always returns.
>>720164190>part 6 that high>part 4 that low
This was on Grimoire of Souls >>720167683And remember Alucard was the one who set-up stuff with the Hakubas too.
>>720167683Yoko was born after the battle of 1999, and I don't believe Alucard was said to have been involved, but considering he works with the Japanese government he probably at least set up things with the Habuka clan to seal the castle into the eclipse.
>>720166573I would unironically KyoAni Konami if they go and give us the fucking Demon Castle Wars as a fucking Netflixvania. I would make it my life mission to make that happen.My one hope and cope is that if they continue this shit is that they stop at SotN since that's the real "climax" of Alucard's story and as >>720167284 said he's the only one who truly matters here.
>>720167683Yoko is like 25, so she wouldn't haven been born yet.
>>720168052I think there was an interview that said they wanted to get to Symphony of the Night and Aria of Sorrow as quickly as possible. Don't quote me on that, tho.
carrie > maria
>>720168052Your effort would be better spent on Adi Shankar and Warren Ellis.
>>720168639Dracula agrees.
>>720165407Sure, bro. Sure.Just like how a new Megaman game is getting announced any time soon because all the collabs and merch and what-not are about spreading awareness of the brand for a big time new release. Totally.
>>720150027it was a fart that vanished extremely fast
>>720150027that's some nice art.
>>720168052Care to guess how they would "adapt" Symphony of the Night? Each covered game so far has been wildly different from the source material.
>>720169227they redeem Alucard by having him raw dog Maria, on camera, full frontal, on the glass, with Dracula watching
>>720169227Does it matter? It'll be a fanfic of a fanfic of a fanfic.Go through the twitters of these people and see if you can figure out their latest political or social hyperfixation. That's the more sure way to guess what they will shoehorn on their upcoming fanfic in which they'll slap the name of the franchise one.
>>720169227A dutch angle wide shot of Ayami Kojima masturbating furiously to Alucard fucking various men on an old CRT television, before the camera pans to reveal she's being studied by a score of Japanese men in business suits behind a one-way mirror. Igarashi appears in a cowboy hat with his next Castlevania game proposal: Oops! All Hallways!
I clapped when he pressed up down quarter circle forward square up.
>>720168659Maybe.My only regret would be is that there'd be no more Bombergirls afterwards for me to jerk off to.
>>720150027I mean, the Advance and DS collections did pretty well, so maybe it helped.
>>720150027The Netflix series is the only reason m2 started work on these and the contra games
>>720169867Is the saturation in this webm, fucked up or does the show look that shitty.
>>720171382God damn it. I'm going to stop making webms.Half the time I make them someone says the saturation is fucked and I have no idea what the problem is. If it's me or them. Because I've had other people say the saturation is fine.
>>720171719Looks alright to me. Unless it doesn't look like this? I mean it's still an ugly show.
>>720171719Don't forget about all the people who watched it but decided to say nothing. Don't just focus on the one cunt who whined about it.
>>720171719Looks like this on my end>>720171967huh? I don't know what is going on then.
>>720172093Oh shit your stuff is fucked anon
>>720172093Yeah that's something on your end, it shouldn't be this pink or pink at all lmao
>>720172093That's what it looks like to me as well
>>720169890Bro you'd be dead.
>>720172353>>720172165I'm using chrome, when I open the thread in Firefox it looks mostly normal, something is fucked with the browser.
When I think Castlevania, I think girlboss sheboons, rampant swearing, and 2fps animation.
>>720171967>>720172093Yeah see that's the shit I'm talking about.>>720172493What the fuck is going on with Chrome lolI'm not doing anything special, just using Webm for Lazys.
lol
>>720164787I want it on non-snoy systems.
>>720172782>he doesn't have hacked ps4lmao
>>720150027I have a soft spot for the first series with Trevor. Despite all its issues it does have its moments. The only real complaint is the forced and irrelevant LGBT shit they shoved in the last two seasons (the bisexual Alucard getting buckbroken by some random Jap and those two useless lesbian vampires, both subplots that ultimately were completely irrelevant to the plot).Nocturne on the other hand was straight up an insult to the franchise from the get go. I couldn't even finish the first season. The only thing I praise about it is how that ancient vampire is a "cat" from Egypt. Many people don't realize this but, that's the closest representation to the original vampire legends. Too bad I have zero interest watching the rest of the show and I don't even have Netflix anymore.As for damage to the series, the way Konami handled it was already damaging enough. The gatchashit, the Apple Arcade shit, the pachinko shit, that retarded Kojima reboot. Seriously, WTF? The Netflix stuff is nothing compared to it. At the least the collections are nice.
>>720151773The sad part is that Holy Water was a real thing in the show and was a major plot point in Season 2, so clearly the Holy Power of Christ existed.The show really went downhill with Season 3 and beyond.
>>720172975Giving the first series a pass at all in any way shape or form is what led to Nocturne to exist.You people gave them a inch, and they took a mile. >The Netflix stuff is nothing compared to it.And even now, despite them shitting in your mouth and making you thank them for it, you're still defending them.Hopeless.
>>720161893You're arguing as if a show would have to encompass the entire timeline of the series?
>>720172635This is satire.
>>720150027helped at first but harmed it pretty badly with the sequel
Bisexual Alucard is my canon
>>720172975>soft spot fot the first series with Trevorwhy? they made him a useless retard who only killed drac after alucard the faggot did most of the work
>>720175073AluKWAB
>EAT SHIT AND DIETrevor Belmont, Wallachia, 1476
>>720174429I'm arguing as if the show would need to run for 6 seasons and be similar in priorities if not plot or characterization because that's what the Netflix show actually is. Note that this is separate from a quality judgment. It's easy for me to say "I wish we just got a Tartakovsky Castlevania show anthology that skipped around showing different Belmonts facing different monsters" (which also probably wouldn't even need to contradict the games) but that's not what the project was.Let's actually think this through. The project was always going to start with Castlevania III, right? Right. We've known about Ellis working on a Castlevania project years before the Netflix show was actually developed. Now consider the role Alucard plays in Castlevania III and Symphony of the Night. It's easy to square it in the games as I said here >>720164276. But if you're serious about adapting both Castlevania III and Rondo/Symphony of the Night something has to give, on top of whatever you need to make Dracula a compelling villain in both storylines. Games can rehash themselves because they are games. The latter point holds true even if you decide to adapt something else. I'm not saying there aren't answers here (you could easily just have Shaft summoning some other super-demon other than Dracula and the whole Richter side of the story could stay the same and much closer to the games) but I don't think the Castlevania timeline warrants the series bending over backwards to preserve it, that's all.
neitherIt probably helped us get the castlevania dead cells DLC so that's cool, but there will never be another castlevania game
>>720154028>why the fuck did Netflixvania feel the need to tip their fedoras on Christianity?Because they put a pajeet in charge, same one that made DMC's netflix show center around demon refugees being bombed by the US government and Sparda was in fact a dildo-knocking simp.
>>720150027I loved when some fag's OC was giving Richter fucking Belmont a dressing down because he said they should go in with a plan. I love how Alucard came back because normies love him and he had no chemistry with Richter. I love how they brought in Juste but fucked up his whole game so he amounted to nothing but a few flashy scenes. I love that Olrox was Adi Shankar just like how he was "totally not Rex Colt" in Captain Laserhawk.Really though, I can enjoy the action with some of this stuff but much like with Resident Evil it's obvious that the only reason the show has the IP attached is because it will make more money, they don't give a damn about the thing itself. The first Castlevania series fucked up Curse of Darkness just so they could use some bits from it, then Nocturne fucked up Bloodlines just so they could use some bits from it. FFS Bathory didn't even have any agency, she was practically just a puppet being groomed to be a vassal for a greater power when in Bloodlines she was a competent villain that was fucking up Yurop. Nocturne could've been something other than Castlevania and just been African mythology and might have been pretty neat, instead it's just a bastardization of stories already told in games.
>>720175073Obviously. He is a vampire.
>>720176620Netflixvania was originally written by king fedora Warren Ellis and then was filled in by people trying to copy him I guess.
>>720153138>You two are really asking to get monkey pawed by even more outsourced dogcrap like Silent Hill is.As long as its a 2D game made by M2 it'd be fine.
>>720169754Amazing.
>>720177550Castlevania Legends Revisted Let's fucking go.
>>720177885I'm down for that.
>>720178106Yes.
>>720161132The what musical?
>>720151773Blindsight handled it better
So why did Konami let castlevania die? Like you release a game alongside the anime and it would print money.
>>720164057You have about 10 different ways to play it on PC so who gives a shit
>>720150027haramanyone that says it helped the franchise is delusional and anyone that says it did nothing is a retarded piece of shitcastlevania will now be forever tainted with a shitty show that people will point out whenever anyone wants to know anything related to it, faggots still praise it as a good adaptation unlike with dmc where everyone with half a brain shitted on it hard, and it will warp the minds of any subhuman that think the characters are in any way like in the show
>>720167284>>720168052Holy shit kill yourselves. This is the most retarded bullshit I've ever heard. Alucard only appears in like 4 fucking games.
>>720175073>mfwIt was so hot
It reminded people Castlevania exists, so....help?
>>720178775"Fuck video games, pachinko and mobile makes more money."
>>720178775They stopped making games in general. I'm surprised they haven't revived it yet given Silent Hill and MGS Delta, but that doesn't mean nothing is happening. Something probably is.
>>720151031At least is properly low in the radar, and that's a good thingNo normalniggers will ever get interested in the franchise thanks to the schizojeet
>>720177309kek
Idk, but Frozen Shade is sexy.
>>720150961Was the slavery shit in it actually woke-tier? I remember being put off by it (and the gay Native American vampire guy)… actually, now that I think about it, I don’t think it’s possible for me to enjoy it even if the animation was really cool. I try to detach myself from seething with rage at the woke shit, but Nocturne was so balls-to-the-wall with it that I just couldn’t. Felt literally like that /tv/ pasta where the guy watching “Everything Everywhere All at Once” kept repeating “this is Reddit, this is memes” to himself while watching it.
>>720151674>No it's dumber. Because as it turns out the conflict isn't about slavery at all. Erzebet wants an infinite night where she can be worshipped as a goddess. And Drolta is a delusional zealot who completely misunderstood her own god. Neither of them give a flying fuck about slavery outside of humans being their cattle. And the closest we see to a political villain is Abbott, who, you guessed it, doesn't really give a shit about slaves but rather enforcing the status quo of divinely appointed hierarchy.I noticed something while reading this:All this has NOTHING TO DO WITH DRACULA! In fact, DRACULA IS IRRELEVANT to this fucking show!A FUCKING CASTLEVANIA SHOW WITHOUT DRALUCA!!11111!!!
>>720182754Dracula is somewhere in London fucking Lisa
>>720179567I mean, it managed to keep a thread going over 100 replies in current day without even a game to show for it, so I guess it's helping show there's still an interest in the IP.
>>720150027I dont really understand white people's obession with this franchise. There's barely any game in the past decade and yet they keep gaslighting themselves into capitalizing the series with lukewarm animation as if it's some sort of second of Christ game.
>>720181595>was the slavery in it woke-tier?I think you and everyone who talks like you should kill themselves
>>720150027RICHTER WE MUST BE BETTER MEN
>>720151773>>720152107They literally just copied this from Peter Watts without an iota of shame or understanding how Watts made it work in an extremely hard sci-fi setting
>>720162803but what if... alucard takes it up the ass?
>>720185423People can be mad about a LOT with the Netflix series but alucard being a faggot should not be one of them, he was fruity as hell to begin with. his face was drawn like a homo (like Maria) unlike richter or Dracula or the librarian or shaft, he spoke like a nerdy theater kid, and was a soft little mama’s boy.
>uhh akshually castlevania has always been woke sweatyevery time
>>720171719It looked right to me.>>720172093Holy hell, what's going on here?>>720172493Maybe Chrome is finally in its death throes.
>>720185790Not at all what I said faggot. The threesome scene in season 3 almost completely ruined the entirety of the show and was nearly character assassination making him a traumatized rape victim, but alucard was always a little zesty lookin
>>720150027Destroyed what little hope there was of a revival. Netflix is bottom tier, it's where you send C-list material that you can't get greenlit anywhere else.
>>720181079
>>720150440Just as bad as the Netflix only fake fans.
>>720150440With just a handful of changes LoS2 could have been a very good game. What a shame.
>>720186325Last I heard which was a long time ago, most issues were due to the director being an egomaniac.
>>720186121Man, I love whatever archetype of female design this is. Very ethereal and sexy.
>>720150027I don't even consider it a Rondo adaption, every character is so radically different from their game counterpart it's not even close. Like, Richter and Maria have well developed personalities in the games, unlike Trevor, so you can't just make shit up.I don't mind the Maria design, but they made her look a little too old. And the original Rondo Maria is still best.
Why did they turn Maria into a gay race communist who hates God?
>>720151241Trevor was written as the same smarty self-insert faggot that Ellis always writes.
>>720186631Because Netflix.With the first series, at least the source material didn't define Trevor, Sypha, etc very well, so the only ones that seemed off were Alucard and Dracula. But they made Dracula kind of cool even if he was weirdly characterized, so it was passable.They couldn't do that with Nocturne. Everything felt off, even normalfags noticed.
>>720186684I'll take that over a weak, emasculated male protagonist who only exists to set up YAS SLAY QUEEN moments for the female lead.And if that female lead was Maria as she was originally portrayed, then I'd be much less mad, because Maria is cool. But instead we got a butchered Maria, and worse yet, whatever the fuck Annette is.
>>720185661Retard.
it was cute seeing black girls living out their bwc fantasies through this series but...what they did overall was definitely a net negative to the franchise (even dead by daylight's crossover was less gay)
>>720151773Yup. Anyone who likes the show (including the first season) is actually retarded. Honestly I don't understand why people get attached to dead franchises. But maybe they're just waiting for another proper vampire game to come out.
I just don't get why they couldn't do a 1:1 adaption.They already met the Netcuck strong female character quota with Maria, who's THE most beloved female character in Castlevania. She could have dunked on Dracula mahou shoujo style and it's still be consistent with the games.But oh right, no fucking Dracula. Which automatically makes this shit not Castlevania.
>>720151241>>720150027Sypha, Maria and Lenore, the only good things to come out of these seasons
>>720186239Would a noble from the 15th century like Alucard say "fuck" and "fucking"?
>>720187170>I just don't get why they couldn't do a 1:1 adaption.Because being cute and innocent is "problematic" for girlbosses.
>>720187013>loli Mariaholy CUTE
>>720187469It's so weird when I go online to see people that absolutely hate her.She was unironically a good person(vampire)
>>720187593Fuck that gay shit, Japan's mahou shoujo genre boomed because it was full of beloved female characters who fit this exact archetype. Westerners fucking suck.
>>720164190Was Johnny supposed to actually be the alternate dimension Jonathan, the way Diego is Dio?
>wokevaniano thanki'll stick to SCIV
I'm glad that Nocturne crashed and burned, there is no excuse for what they did to Anette
>>720188852If Richter and Maria were at least themselves I wouldn't mind if they inserted some dumbass gender swapped bitch for Netflix diversity point. What makes or breaks a show are the main characters.
>>720164348There was that Toohoo game and the Deedlit game made by the same people. Very short but fun games.
>>720177885>first time she got recognition in ages was in Vampire Survivors as Konami themselves didn't ever do itsad
>>720150027Nortubel tier show
the vampire survivor castlevania dlc had more soul than another other castlevania game in the last 20 years
>>720165031>horde of demons shows up at your port>pls let us pass, we won't rape kill and eat everyone in this town, pinky promiseNigga really?
>>720190867Went into it blind and the 3 tiers of unlocks blew my mind, it's got more characters than the main game and the previous expansions combined, I think.
